The Context Machine

As every science, there is theory and its proofing. A very long
experience has proved theories and practical aspects of Indian
astrology. Practical aspects are the predictions and the
recommendations and these recommendations actually are the
remedial aspect. In Indian astrology, first of all the horoscope
is analyzed to see actually what is the cause of the problem?
Planets govern human life. In the horoscope of a person if
planet is malefic, badly situated, combust, retroget or weak in
any way, this can be harmful and may ruin the persons life. To
curtail this malefic effect and to make planets benefic, certain
time-tested remedies are suggested in Indian astrology.

Only a competent astrologer must prescribe these astrological
remedies to help and reduce the suffering of mankind since a
wrong remedy may be harmful. Various astrological remedies are
practiced described as below

Gem Therapy Yantra Therapy Mantra Therapy
Rudraksha Therapy

Gem ThterapyIn Indian astrology, there are nine main
planets and nine gems are associated to them. These nine gems
are known as Navratna. Their substitutes are also available.
There are many theories to practice Gem therapy but mainly Gem
therapy is used to strengthen the planet whose role in the
oroscope is positive but it is weak. In Ayurveda powder extract
of gems are used to cure many diseases.

Yantra Therapy this is very complex subject. There are
different kinds of energy fields associated to different Gods. A
yantra is visual representation of an energy field. These are of
two-type (1) numerical yantra (2) geometrical yantra. Different
yantras are used for different purposes. The yantra must be
powered by mantras so that they can be used to please a god.
These different energies or yantra have different powers to
serve some special purposes as to win a court case, be
successful in a business or carrier, to get name and fame, etc.

Mantra TherapyIn Indian astrology, Mantras are used
basically for two purpose. (1) To curtail malefic effects of the
planets and make them benevolent. (2) To please the presiding
God of a planet for example God Hanuman Ji for Mars, God Vishnu
Ji for Mercury etc. mantras are the means to connect us to god.
Mantra must be recited in a specified no of times to get a
desired effect and must be learnt from a person who knows the
wordings, melodies and other essential elements of mantras.

Rudraksha Therapy In Hindu belief, the origin of
rudraksha is from the tears of God Rudra, God Shiv Ji. God Shiv
Ji wears rudraksha in his hairs, neck, hands even in his ears.
Rudraksha heals many diseases like high blood pressure,
jaundice, indigestion, disease pertaining to respiratory system,
fevers and many other diseases. Rudraksha therapy is used in two
ways.

we can wear it as a mala or string in the neck. Wearing mala
would provide us its medicional properties plus it would curtail
malefic effects of bad spirits.Secondly we can take its powder
extract as Ayurvedic medicine.

“And in order that you tell into the ears of your son and your
son’s son how I made a mockery of the Egyptians, and that you
tell of My signs that I placed in them, and you will know that I
am the Lord.” (Shemos 10:2)

The Chasam Sofer explains that the whole Egyptian saga was to
mock the wicked. It appeared that the evil Egyptians were doing
quite well. Money was pouring in from the entire world because
of the famine. The Jews were enslaved while the Egyptians were
living the high life filled with immorality and corruption. Yet
in the end Hashem made a mockery of them. They were destroyed
and the Jews left Egypt with all their possessions.

Hashem will soon redeem us and reveal the vanity, immorality and
facade of our modern society. The question is: How much do we
buy into, and accept the values of today’s world?

Application:

1. Ask yourself, how can I strengthen my Jewish values and
disconnect from the false values being promoted by the media?

2. If I had true Torah values I would …

3. The media is causing me to …

Words of Wisdom - Proverbs 14:29 By Stanley T. Crawford

He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, but he who is
impulsive exalts folly. (Proverbs 14:29)

Being slow to wrath allows us time to reflect on a given
situation. When we reflect on a situation before we act, we may
see aspects that aren’t readily apparent on a cursory look. In
addition, in situations that we allow ourselves to become angry,
other men and women are often involved. Therefore, being slow to
wrath may allow us time to evaluate the credibility and
intentions of the individuals we are angry with.

Wrath implies a level of emotion, and felling above simple
anger. It often precedes or implies some type of retribution. As
Christians, we should be careful about becoming wrathful.
Specifically, God has declared that vengeance is his (Romans
12:19).

If we have thought through a situation, and we feel justified in
exercising our wrath, then we should pray to Jesus before acting
on our wrath. For as Christians, we know that Jesus expects us
to forgive those who offend us. Yet this is sometimes easier
said than done.

Shear experience teaches men and women, that impulsive actions
are often not the best actions. If you reflect over your life
experiences, you may remember an incident where acting to
quickly without forethought resulted in actions that you later
regretted.

Again, after you pray about the situation, then ask yourself
“Should I indeed exercise my wrath?” For in the end, Jesus will
judge the other person or persons for their actions against you,
which if you think is against him, Jesus Christ. As well, Jesus
will judge you for your response to their actions.
